VolX has developed RealVol™ Instruments and RealVol Indices based on realized volatility as defined by the RealVol Formulas. Realized volatility measures movement of an underlying asset regardless of direction. In the future, RealVol Instruments may be listed on a wide variety of underlying assets, as they are designed for every major marketplace: futures, options, securities, and over-the-counter. Currently, RealVol Indices focus on key global assets and segregate risk into 40 styles, encompassing six time frames, five formulas, and two models.

The Volatility Exchange is not a regulated exchange. Our goal is to bring a revolutionary product to market as expeditiously as possible. To do so, the most efficient route is to license our methodology to existing exchanges. Upon demonstrating that the idea has appeal and that there is widespread demand, we will determine the best path forward for VolX to disseminate its array of products.

VolX will license its methodology to existing exchanges. Since we have realized volatility products in various formats, such as futures, options, securities, exchange-traded funds, exchange-traded notes, and even over-the-counter instruments, VolX can, and expects to, list its instruments on various futures, securities, and options exchanges.
